Fox play-by-play voice Joe Davis became quite familiar with the Bears’ plight last season. Of the network’s 11 Bears games, Davis and analyst Daryl “Moose” Johnston called five. Four of them were losses, and the last three were part of a 10-game losing streak.
“We were pulling for the Bears to make a turnaround, as much as any neutral party could, just because we seemed to be on their tail last year,” Davis said Wednesday. “Even during the 10-game losing streak, it had plenty of compelling angles to it. It still did have this feeling, no matter how bad they were, the turnaround was not that far off.
